Fiction is my business

About Me

I'm a writer, a cynical, hardboiled bitch with a fetish for noir cinema, tattoos and seamed stockings. I'm older than you think and younger than I feel. I've got great gams and perfect size five feet, if you can handle the razor-edged tongue that goes with them. Want more? Go to my real website - www.christafaust.com. Better yet, read my books.IMPORTANT! PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MESSAGES ON MYSPACE. If you need to contact me, do so through my real website www.christafaust.com (click on BIO) I will no longer be replying to MySpace messages.

My Interests

bondage, vintage lingerie, seamed stockings, high heels, spanking, foot worship, trampling, crime fiction, vintage paperbacks, noir cinema, horror, B monster movies, Lucha Libre, MMA, and Boston Terriers.

I'd like to meet:

Readers. Writers. Cynics. Perverts. Fighters. Your girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

Music:

The sound of my keyboard.

Movies:

It's all about noir, baby. Night and the City, Born to Kill, The Big Sleep, Pick Up on South Street, Sunset Boulevard, The Set-Up, Gilda, you get the idea. I also love horror and monster movies, mexican wrestler movies and Mystery Science Theater.

Television:

NO!!! Kill your TV before it's too late!

Books:

YES! Love vintage pulp, detective and crime fiction, horror and erotica. Current fave writer: Richard S. Prather

Heroes:

This week? Jean Gillie as Margo Shelby in Decoy. "She Treats Men the Way They've Been Treating Women for Years!"
